It has many advantages, including economy and easier fabrication, Long Span, Column free structures are the most essential in any type of industrial structures and Pre Engineered Buildings (PEB) fulfils this requirement along with reduced time and cost. This methodology is versatile for its quality of pre- designing, fabrication, light weight and economical construction. The present work represents how one can developed the pre engineerd steel building with proper engineering planning and technical solution. We need to come up with new ideas and maintain the optimum level of economical solution. Keywords: Pre-Engineered Building, Steel Building, Fabrication, Erection, Tapered I Section, Staad Pro. Introduction Nowadays the rate of construction and the safety are the major concern in structural Engineering. Progress of Pre-Engineering-building structure (PEBs) accelerated the rate of construction maintaining all the safety factors reducing the erection time of the structure. PEBs are delivered as a complete finished product to the site from a single supplier with a basic structural steel framework [1]. The primary framing structure of a pre- engineered building (PEB) is an assembly of I-shaped members, often referred as I-beams. PEB system is a structure that consists of pre-designed, pre-fabricated component that are combined together and assembled structurally. In pre-engineered buildings, the I-beams used are usually formed by welding together steel plates to form the I-section. I-beams are then field-assembled (e.g. bolted connections) to form the entire frame of the pre-engineered building. Some manufacturers taper the framing members (varying in web depth) according to the local loading effects. Larger plate dimensions are used in areas of higher load effects. It is satisfying a wide range of aesthetic and structural design requirements. Now in USA, 60% of single story or low rise structure prefer PEB structure over conventional buildings [2]. Making the construction very quick is a needful step for manufacturing sector, residential and institutional sectors. As time is money, if once time is gone, no one can rewind it but money once lost money can be regained. Pre-engineered buildings (PEB) are developed in such a way that helps in efficient use of time and money [3]. Presently, large column free area is the utmost requirement for any type of industry and with the advent of computer software's it is now easily possible. Pre-engineered buildings are nothing but steel buildings in which excess steel is avoided by tapering the sections (I and H) as per the bending moment’s requirement. But it’s a fact that many people are not aware about Pre-Engineered Buildings. Pre-engineered building is steel building wherein the framing members and other components are fully fabricated in the factory after designing and brought to the site for erection, mainly by nut-bolts, thereby resulting into a steel structure of high quality and precision. With the improvement in technology, computer software’s have contributed immensely to the enhancement of quality of life through new researches. Pre-engineered building (PEB) is one of such revolution [2]. History A London carpenter, H. Manning, constructed a house that was built in components, then shipped and assembled by British emigrants. This was published at the time (advertisement, South Australian Record, 1837) and a few still stand in Australia. One such is the Friends Meeting House, Adelaide. The peak year for 12 Md. Sumon Reza, Shammya Afroze, Abul K. Azad International Journal of Engineering Technology, Management and Applied Sciences www.ijetmas.com January 2018, Volume 6, Issue 1, ISSN 2349-4476 the importation of portable buildings to Australia was 1853, when several hundred arrived. In 1855 during the Crimean War, after Florence Nightingale wrote a letter to The Times, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was commissioned to design a prefabricated modular hospital. The world’s first prefabricated, pre-cast panelled apartment blocks were pioneered in Liverpool in 1906. Prefabricated homes were produced during the Gold Rush in the United States, when kits were produced to enable Californian prospectors to quickly construct accommodation. Homes were available in kit form by mail order in the United States in 1908. Prefabricated housing was popular during World War II due to the need for mass accommodation for military personnel. ‘Prefabs’ were built after the war as a means of quickly and cheaply providing quality housing as a replacement for the housing destroyed during the war. The proliferation of prefabricated housing across the country was a result of the Burt Committee and the Housing (Temporary Accommodation) Act 1944. Under the Ministry of Works companies could bid on Council led development schemes, resulting in whole estates of prefabs constructed to provide accommodation for those made homeless by the War and ongoing slum clearance. Almost 160,000 had been built in the UK by 1948 at a cost of close to £216 million. The largest single prefab estate in Britainwas at PEBle Vale (South Liverpool) where more than 1,100 were built after World War 2. The Universal House (pictured left & lounge diner right) was given to the Chiltern Open Air Museum after 40 years temporary use. The Mark 3 was manufactured by the Universal Housing Company Ltd, Rickmansworth. The United States used prefabricated housing for troops during the war and for GIs returned home. Prefab classrooms were popular with UK schools increasing their rolls during the baby boom of the 1950s and 1960s [4]. Many buildings were designed with a five-ten year life span, but have far exceeded this, with a number surviving today. In 2002, for example, the city of Bristol still had residents living in 700 examples. Many UK councils are beginning to demolish the last surviving examples of World War II prefabs in order to comply with the UK government’s Decent Homes Standard, due to come into effect by 2010. However, there has been a recent revival in prefabricated methods of construction in order to compensate for the United Kingdom’s current housing shortage [5]. Methodology In order to carry out the research, certain approaches and methodologies are required to be followed. The research was based on both exploratory and descriptive method. A random set of sample had chosen and a questionnaire was given. This study was mainly based on primary data and a questionnaire was developed that consisted mainly close-ended questions. For accomplishing this project, following points will be considered Collection of the information regarding conventional methods of building technologies and the limitations associated with it. Study various concepts of pre-engineered building and its various applications. Recent innovations and substitute techniques that are implemented for pre-engineered building will be highlighted [6]. The designs are carried out in accordance with the Standards and by the help of the structural analysis and design software STAAD pro. Pre-Engineered Building (PEB) In structural engineering, a pre-engineered building (PEB) is designed by a PEB supplier or PEB manufacturer, to be fabricated using best suited inventory of raw materials available from all sources and manufacturing methods that can efficiently satisfy a wide range of structural and aesthetic design requirements. Within some geographic industry sectors these buildings are also called Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB) or, as is becoming increasingly common due to the reduced amount of pre-engineering involved in custom computer-aided designs, simply Engineered Metal Buildings (EMB). Typically, primary frames are 2D type frames (i.e. may be analyzed using two-dimensional techniques). Advances in computer-aided design technology, materials and manufacturing capabilities have assisted a 13 Md. Sumon Reza, Shammya Afroze, Abul K. Azad International Journal of Engineering Technology, Management and Applied Sciences www.ijetmas.com January 2018, Volume 6, Issue 1, ISSN 2349-4476 growth in alternate forms of pre-engineered building such as the tension fabric building and more sophisticated analysis (e.g. three-dimensional) as is required by some building codes [7]. Cold formed Z- and C-shaped members may be used as secondary structural elements to fasten and support the external cladding. Roll-formed profiled steel sheet, wood, tensioned fabric, precast concrete, masonry block, glass curtain wall or other materials may be used for the external cladding of the building [8]. PEB Why Though initially only off the shelf products were available in these configurations aided by the technological development tailor made solutions are also made using this technology in very short durations. A recent survey by the Metal Building Associations (MBMA) shows that about 60% of the non residential low rises building in USA are pre engineered buildings. Pre engineered steel buildings can be fitted with different structural accessories including mezzanine floors, canopies, fascias, interior partitions etc. This is very versatile buildings systems and can be finished internally to serve any functions and accessorized externally to achieve attractive and unique designing styles. It is very advantageous over the conventional buildings and is really helpful in the low rise building design. Pre engineered buildings are generally low rise buildings however the maximum eave height can go upto 25 to 30 metres. Low rise buildings are ideal for offices, houses, showrooms, shop fronts etc. The application of pre engineered buildings concept to low rise buildings is very economical and speedy.

Sprague University of Washington Abstract Expressive Structure: The Life and Work of Matthew Nowicki Tyler S. Sprague Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor Alex T. Anderson Department of Architecture Matthew Nowicki (1910-1950) developed an approach to architecture that negotiated the architectural and engineering fields through his use of expressive structural forms. As more than an optimized materialist exploration, Nowicki’s approach was a reasoned response to the technical and societal challenges facing Modern architecture, and the broader conditions of the postwar world of which he was a part. Through his work, Nowicki broadened the array of possible Modern design solutions available to architects in the postwar period. Widely respected and well published, Nowicki’s work is significant because it embraced both engineering and architectural concerns, and opened the door to an expanded field of expressive structural systems within Modern architecture. Matthew Nowicki’s structurally expressive Modern architecture set the stage for many other formally expressive structures in the years that followed. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction

  • Prefabricated Building 1 Prefabricated Building
    Prefabricated building 1 Prefabricated building Prefabricated building is a type of building that consists of several factory-built components or units that are assembled on-site to complete the unit. Construction of a prefabricated modular house (Click here for a time-lapse video) Prefabricated Housing "Prefabricated" may refer to buildings built in components (e.g. panels), modules (modular homes) or transportable sections (manufactured homes), and may also be used to refer to mobile homes, i.e., houses on wheels. Although similar, the methods and design of the three vary wildly. There are two-level home plans, as well as custom home plans. There are considerable differences in the construction types. Mobile and manufactured houses are constructed in accordance with the HUD building codes in the U.S. while modular houses are constructed in accordance with the IBC (International Building Code). Uninhabited prefabricated council houses in • Modular homes are created in sections, and then transported to the Seacroft, Leeds, UK home site for construction and installation. These are typically installed and treated like a regular house, for financing, appraisal and construction purposes, and are usually the most expensive of the three. Although the sections of the house are prefabricated, the sections, or modules, are put together at the construction much like a typical home. Manufactured and mobile houses are rated as personal property and depreciate over time. • Manufactured homes are built onto steel beams, and are transported in complete sections to the home site, where they are assembled. • Mobile homes built on wheels, that can be moved. Mobile homes and manufactured homes can be placed in mobile home parks, and manufactured homes can also be placed on private land, providing the land is zoned for manufactured homes.

Yes, it might sound or even look a bit like that but what a lovely, sophisticated box!” We are talking about post-war prefabs, erected in a hurry just after the Second World War when Britain was suffering an unprecedented housing shortage. More than 150,000 of these prefabricated houses were erected all over the UK from one or two on bomb sites to large estates of 700 and more. The biggest estate had over 1100 prefabs, at Belle Vale in Liverpool. They were luxury to most of the residents who were mainly service personnel returning from the war and reuniting with their family, and people bombed out of their homes. Their prefab became their little palace with all mod cons and even more than any working class family could hope for at the time: hot water, toilet inside, bathroom, a fitted kitchen with a fridge, fitted cupboards and a garden all around the house. Part of the temporary housing programme, they were not supposed to last over a decade.

Part of the temporary housing programme, they were not supposed to last over a decade. Yet, over 70 years later, a few thousand are still standing and very much loved. Why do people love their prefab so much, why are they so attached to their “cardboard or tin boxes”? Is it the layout of the prefab, the design of the interior, the garden around? Is it the sense of community they created? Or a combination of everything? That’s what I have been trying to find out for the last 11 years, since I started taking pictures of prefabs in South London.
